Live Better with Less Impact. The NW Natural, Blue Home?

When Garrison Hullinger was approached to be apart of this year?s NW Natural Blue Home at The Better Living Show ? he jumped at the opportunity. Not only would this experience continue to mold and stretch the design team here at GHID, but allow us to build new relationships within the community as well.

The NW Natural Blue Home also provided us the opportunity to understand more clearly, learn about and even procure some amazing green and sustainable products offered in home improvement and decor; many of which are located right here in the Pacific Northwest.

What is the Blue Home?

The home, built in just three days by Portland-based contractors Progressive Builders Northwest, is a great way to see innovative green product offered for your home.

The Blue Home unlocks energy saving ideas and beautiful design concepts in every room of the house to fuel plans for your next home makeover.

Enjoy the aromas from the gourmet kitchen, rest on locally made furnishings in the great room, learn how to efficiently heat small spaces in the mechanical room and check out what?s in the garage?NW Natural invites you to Live Better with Less Impact.

NW Natural?s Blue Home is built in partnership with Progressive Builders Northwest, Garrison Hullinger Interior Design, Fireside Distributors of Oregon and many other amazing product suppliers and service providers.
